Which Is Worse? Your Little Health Dilemmas, Solved

Skip the sunnies. Surprising, right? A shoddy pair of cheap lenses can end up causing more damage than squinting through the rays does. Most poorly made sun specs have little ultraviolet protection—just darkened shades, which can trick your pupils into dilating and letting in more damaging rays. "Ideally, you want a pair that touts 400 nanometers—meaning 100 percent—of UV protection, which keeps harmful rays from hitting the lens and retina," says Lauren Yeager, M.D., an ophthalmologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. So if those cute cat's-eye sunnies don't have a sticker clearly touting that 400 number, pick up a cheap straw or cotton wide-brimmed hat.

We've all been stuck in those awkward situations: Do a lame workout or blow it off? Eat bar snacks with drinks or wait for a healthy dinner later? Skip breakfast or go for that morning-meeting doughnut? We've got you covered for all these moments and more. Get even more advice in our Which Is Worse? video series!
